In reply to Brenda. It's an excellent book. It was reading this book that actually got me to follow my doctor's suggestion that I cut wheat out of my diet. Tough, but a great decision.

Made the blueberry muffins-they were amazing, thank you!
Omitted sweetener and instead cheated a bit and made a yummy gf streusel using maple and coconut sugars swirled onto the tops halfway through baking. Keep the gf recipes coming, you are doing great!

Ugh, I always hate when I’m excited about a new recipe & then it’s a disappointment. It happens to us all. I think the last one I was bummed about was a coconut bar that I’d tried to make… came out really tiny & not that great tasting. I ate a couple anyway & tossed the rest. Oh well. Live & learn, right? 😉

In reply to Leigh Anne. I haven't read that book, I should though. I think it's good for the kids actually, I mean they won't be completely GF or wheat free but for the most part if I make these recipes, they'll be eating them so it can't hurt right? :)

I have recently had my eyes open re: gluten. I am about 1/2 way thru the book “Wheat Belly” by Dr. William Davis and it has been very interesting. I have never thought I had an intolerance other than it makes my muffin-top worse. But after reading all of the other effects, I am considering making the switch for my family. My hubby is (mostly) on board, but worried about my kids. They LOVE their sandwiches and tortillas. I know their are tons of resources out there, but I do feel kinda overwhelmed. So glad you are venturing into that world….I’m a loyal reader 🙂

In reply to janel. I am seeing a great difference with my stomach and asthma so I think it's working. Thanks for sharing!

Cutting out gluten is so hard. I’ve tried a few times and feel better, but mostly because I end up cutting out other junk too but don’t notice a huge difference in how i feel as long as I eat 100% whole wheat.

My mom on the other hand feels MUCH better when she stays away from gluten.

Oh yeah I had an epic fail with a fruit-on-the-bottom bar. I was trying to make this Gluten Free to bring to a friend’s with using barley and barley flour instead of the flour. First it was hard as a rock and I had to throw out the whole thing. Then my friend who has a kid with celiac told me that barley is not GF. So alas the whole point would have been a waste.

Thinking of using one of your oat recipes to successfully do this in future!
